learn-x-by-doing-y VS noteworthy

These two GitHub repos can keep you busy for months: Build Your Own X — recreate famous tools Learn X by Doing Y — Project-based guides for every tech

This list is enough, but after you get the basics from one of the above, do a project from https://aquadzn.github.io/learn-x-by-doing-y/

Some other knowledge-graph type projects for comparison:

> Metacademy - "Package Manager for Knowledge" - https://metacademy.org/

> MathLingua - language for easily creating a collection of mathematical knowledge, including definitions, theorems, axioms, and conjectures, in a format designed to be easy and fun to read and write. - https://www.mathlingua.org/

> Learn X in Y minutes - https://learnxinyminutes.com/

> Learn X by doing Y - https://aquadzn.github.io/learn-x-by-doing-y/

Many people are also starting to use the bidirectional-link style of note-taking to create their own knowledge graphs. I'm curious to see what sort of tools will emerge in the future to help people share the graphs they've created.

You see, I really needed something to do. I had been doing a few web related projects on the side and that was something I didn't want to do any more, at least for a while. So I looked into doing something "closer to the metal", something much lower level than sending requests back and forth to a web server. So I quickly fired up Learn X by doing Y and searched for something interesting, eventually ending up on Building your own Lisp (We all have a Lisp phase, it was just my turn).

Search is good, but if you're like me and would like to just see the list of available projects, it's here

https://noteworthy.ink like Zettlr with better LaTeX/math rendering support

My notes are pretty math-heavy, and for that reason I really prefer WYSIWYG rather than a split view or staring at the LaTeX source most of the time. Something like the Typora editor on top of Obsidian would be great. If only both were open source!

I've been hacking on my own clone [1] for the past year with a WYSIWYG editor based on ProseMirror. Here's the demo page [2] for the math editor!

[2] https://benrbray.com/prosemirror-math/ (disclaimer: the demo page is quite minimal -- many extra features, like Markdown syntax, can be added through ProseMirror)

I use my own not-yet-ready-for-release app called Noteworthy [1], but here is a list of some of the roamlikes I find most inspiring:

> Athens Research -- free and open source roam competitor made by someone who failed an interview for a job at roam :) -- https://github.com/athensresearch/athens

> Obsidian -- free but non-open wikilink system based on Markdown files -- https://obsidian.md/

> Foam -- Markdown-based knowledge management system based entirely around VS Code extensions -- https://foambubble.github.io/foam/

> Neuron/Cerveau -- Markdown-based Zettelkasten and static site generator written in Haskell -- https://neuron.zettel.page/

Some other honorable mentions that I can't be bothered to dig up links for: Madoko, RemNote, Notion, TiddlyWiki, Cerveau, Zettlr, Notable
